I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Yes, I will, watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch them roll away again
Watching the tide roll away
I left my home in Georgia.
I headed for the Frisco Bay.
I had nothing to live for
Looked like nothing's gonna
Sittin' on the dock of a bay
Sittin' on the dock of a bay
Look like nothing's gonna change
And the little thing still re
What ten or twelve or fifteen
or twenty people want me to do
So I guess, I guess it'd be the same
Sitting here to rest in my bones
And the loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this big dock my home
Oh Lord, I'm sittin' on the
Watchin' the tide go away
I'm sittin' on the dock of a bay now
I better get myself together
Instead of just Wastin' Time,
